BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA (WFTV) – The Florida Supreme Court threw out the death sentence for a Brevard County man who was convicted of killing a family of three.
It’s one of the latest death sentences vacated since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a jury’s death recommendation must be unanimous.
The state has made no decision on whether it will seek the death penalty again in the case, but the office said it would thoroughly review the available evidence, seek input from family members and law enforcement officials and then determine how to move forward.
